It seems that one of AEW’s top stars will be with the company for years to come as All Elite Wrestling has announced that Jon Moxley signed a five year contract extension that will keep him with the company through 2027.
The press release also noted that Moxley’s responsibilities with the company have been expanded as he will also be stepping into a mentorship and coaching role with All Elite Wrestling.
“I love AEW and the spirit of both the company and its fans. I cherish our shared passion for the sport of professional wrestling, and I’m going to dedicate everything I have in mind, body and spirit to helping AEW be the best it can be going forward,” Moxley stated in the press release.
AEW President Tony Khan also commented on the contract extension when he added, “Jon Moxley is on the best run of his already legendary career, and this five-year extension ensures that he was not only here for AEW’s meteoric rise, but also remains a key part of the sustained success we’re witnessing, just days after the three-year anniversary show for ‘AEW: Dynamite’. Jon is a great world champion for us in his third reign. His wrestling mind is invaluable, and our roster is lucky to have the opportunity to utilize him as a mentor and a coach as we continue to build the stars of today and tomorrow.”
Jon Moxley first joined AEW when he made his debut at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2019. He has since gone on to become the only three time AEW World Champion in company history.
